Women’s 100 Meters Hurdle

100 meters hurdle is a track and field sport event that is usually ran by women, it is a race done by running and jumping over obstacles known as Hurdles. Ten hurdles with a height of 83.8 centimeters are arranged along a straight line on a 100 meters track. The first hurdle is placed at a 13 meters distance from the starting line, while the remaining nine hurdles are placed at an 8.5 meters distance apart from each other. The distance between 10th hurdle which is the last hurdle, and the finish line is 10.5 meters. The 10 hurdles are set in a way that they can easily fall over if an athlete runs into them. So, knocking out of hurdles intentionally, failure to jump over, or jumping under hurdles leads to disqualification of an athlete from the race. Bumping into the hurdles accidentally does not lead to disqualification, but the hurdles are quite weighted so knocking them over can be quite unfavorable. The world’s 100 meters hurdle record for women was set by Kendra Harrison from the United States Of America in 12.20 seconds. The 100 Meters Hurdle for women in the Europeans Championships started in 1969 and was held every four years till it was changed to every two years in 2010. The top women hurdlers with Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals from 2010 are listed below:
